GPS Does not Work - Lenovo S890

Hi folks,
Just bought a lenovo S890 from China and brought it to Europe.
I can't make the GPS to find the satellite ?
Searching forever and never found anything ?
Any idea ?
Thank guys..

I had the same problem with my Chinese-market Goophone Y5.
This thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732030 helped me immensely.
Of course, I was willing and able to root the phone then edit the gps.conf file and then apply the changes using the FasterFix app. If you're a noob then it's kind of complicated and since you'll be groping around in the innards of your phone's file system there's wide scope for breaking something. I sort of knew what I was doing and I soft-bricked my phone twice. But if you're willing to take the risk,,,
Unless of course there's an app which will do all the above risk-free, but if there is, I didn't find it...

Lenovo S890
Hi Everyone
I just ordered a new Lenovo S890 from Asia.
Is there any chance to root it and install a custom rom on it?
Links to good thread will be appreciated.
I want to root it, make it multi language and install an non chinese rom, to be able to have the market etc...
The shop Etotalk has developped a custom rom but they don't want to sell it.
People from India or Russia, maybe can help?
I found some links but in chinese so it is a little difficult to understand a word.
Maybe we should create a dedicated Lenovo S890 Thread?
Thx for any help
Christophe

root
If someone has a working driver it is easy to root the phone.
I cant install the phone to use ADB software
Please someone provide the driver.
With kind regards

root and Rom
In some Chinese stores offer the service to root, then there must be tools, which so far no one makes public.
In etoltak have a Rom, someone could also make it public.
Regards.

This file is from a chinese site who say with this it can be rooted.
It doesnt work for me.
Can someone test it?

Here you can download a custom rom with root privileges.

hey try this tool ZhuoDaShi-2.2.0-setup
google it and download and install it on your computer if you are using a windows pc
then connect you lenovo and the software should recognize your device and give you a button so as to
root your device
note ;this software is not multi lingual so you will have to bear with the mandarian or something

If you just updated to the 4.1.1 OTA updated pushed by Lenovo, there is no current rooting solution (simple PC tool) at the moment... this is what I summed up from the Chinese Lenovo forums...
I don't actually have the phone here to try and root it again somehow (was rooted by the chinese seller when he shipped it, before the OTA...)
[[[-see attached ZIPs-]]]
Here are the resources I found regarding S890:
(google translate is your friend...)
Russian forum: I cannot post the link since I have less than 10 posts... available via PM I guess....
The russians actually offer the USB drivers... and a TWRP recovery guide... looks nice, tomorrow I'll get the 4.1.1 un-rooted S890 to test everything I downloaded and some more...
Chinese forum: I cannot post the links since I have less than 10 posts... available via PM I guess....
I also downloaded the ROMs I found on the RUS and on the Chinese forums... I can upload them to a safe location for sharing if you want to test it... after you have managed to install the recovery (in english) and get rooted...
Any news/suggestions... highly appreciated
Thanks!

Thanks Osama, it's working nickel for me in Paris !

How long it takes to start the phone after update? Mine is on Honor sign like 5 minutes now and I am starting to be anxious...

thanks, update worked great on non-rooted L51. User data retained and 'update.app' placed in a folder called 'dload' on external micrSD.
Whole process took about 15mts.

Your Huawei ID is registered on the other site, and can’t log in.

Hello, everyone. I got this notification when i try to log in with my Huawei ID on the official EMUI 5.0 site: "Your Huawei ID is registered on the other site, and can’t log in. Please register a new Huawei ID on the current site.". I try to unlock the bootloader but i can't do anything if i received this notification. I askef about this problem, the Huawei romanian team and they said a funny conclusion: "The Huawei ID can be used, just for our phones!" (but i have a Huawei P9 Lite...dohhhh). Here is the site where i try to unlock the bootloader: http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download

Check your PM!
Anyone who need bootloader unlock code, please PM with data for a check in...

So, yesterday i sent a mail to Huawei Romania division and i get this answer:"The service to obtain the unlock code for bootloader is not avaible for the smartphones commercialized in Romania, because this operation is not in concordance with the the guarantee offered in the local zone. "

Try to get it on the chinese site, often it is the only one working.

I have the same problem.
Did anyone came up with a solution ?

Just create a new account or try in chinese website

Anyone have a link to a site that works to get an unlock code?
The whole Huawei ID thing is real pain and their multiple websites confusing - and that's just the english ones.
I stand no chance with the Chinese.

Use the Huawei English site with Mozilla and you won't have any problem

Can you please specify the concrete website address where you've encountered this error?
For me it happened on hwid5.vmall.com. I've tried then on the cloud.huawei.com one, which redirected me on the hwid7.vmall.com login portal, from where it worked (after validating the verification code that was sent to the email address associated to the Huawei ID account).
NB: All the above URL fragments have the https prefix. I am not allowed to post outside links because my XDA forums account is fresh.

I agree. Apparently, you have to create a new account, using a different e-mail address than the one you registered your Huawei P9 with, earlier, to be able to get the bootloader unlocking code. I successfully unlocked my Huawei P9. You can find more information on how to unlock your Huawei P9, once you have the unlock code, on this website: https://theunlockr.com/2016/12/06/root-huawei-p9-p9-plus/.
Btw, I wouldn't advise to PM this gtdaniel guy (see above). He wants your serial number, imei and product id. I'm not saying he can't be trusted, but I wouldn't share that kind of information with anyone you don't know.

Heyho,
- just to answer -
u "normally" doesn't need to be logged on ur ID for 14 days. I registered some day with another xda member ~5 acc for ~20 devices, we could instantly get the unlock codes for the devices. The only prob is, u can't "register" more then 5 devices on an acc.
Regards,
Sebastian

PLEASE HELP D:
When I login on the huawei homepage, I haven't the "Unlock" voice in the menu. What should I do?
